TERRE HAUTE NOV. 26, 1892.
IN the Turkish army officers under the grade of major are limited to one wife each, because thetr pay is not sufficient to enable them to support a harem. The inauguration of a war against polygamy in Turkey leads to the hope that it may yet be exterminated in this country.
CONOitrxs is to be asked for an appro priation of $20,000,000 for pensions for the coming fiscal year, which amount is likely to be increased for several years to corre. The appropriation for 1890 1891 was $120,000,000, which was raised last year to $141,000,000, the last named sum being $18,000,000sbortof the amount required.
IT is announced that the Spanish government is ou tho verge of bankruptcy, and thero is a probability of its ceasing to pay interest ou its debt. France is the principal creditor, and with Spanish bankruptcy and the collapse of the Panama canal scheme all at once the industry of the country will be seriously impairod. __
CJJAKUKS were made in the French chamber of deputies this week that 105 members have been guilty of bribery and crookedness generally iu legislating for tho Panama canal scheme, aud it is evident that tho charges are true. In studying American methods these Frenchmen should have learned the art -of leaving no tracks behind them.
TICK Contra! Pacific and Union Pacific railroads owe the government more than 110,000,000 and are perfectly willing to continue owing it. As the government built these rouds aud has been paying tho interest on their debt for more than twenty years it is nearly time it should have some return. Their managers have all become rich, but it has been a losing game for Uncle Sam.
TIIK
president elect has literally taken
to tho woods. The office seekers had become so numerous that he found life in Now York a burden. Before going Into retirement, however, ho found time to say that the candidate who preneuts petitions for appointment to place before •the inauguration will be doomed. If the place hunters hold baok just think «f tho doluge of petitions which will be poured iuto the White House on inauguration day. It will take the next four ^•ears to sort out and road all of them.
AITRH all tho women of Wyoming cannot lay claim to being tho first of their sex who voted for a president of the United States. The Woman's Journal corrects this misunderstanding, and recalls the fact that tho New Jersey convention that framed the constitution under which that state joined the union allowed women as well as mon to vote if they were "worth forty pounds." Under that constitution Now Jersoy women voted for George Washington for president. New Jersey women continued to vote for president until after Adams the first was elected. Then they were disfranchised.
A STHAY comet has been wandering -aimlessly through space for the past two weeks, causing much speculation among distinguished astrouomers at home and abroad. Some say It is Biela'u comet, and others sav it isn't. One says it may strike the earth another is confident that it won't come within

of it, and Wiggins says that if it passes letwoen the earth and the moon that the earth will contract until the couti nents are covered with water, rivaling the deluge in the days of Noah. These are the opinions of the astronomers Tho opinion of tho average reader is that the astronomer knows nothing about it, and tho average reader is about correct.
THRRK is a movement on foot to cut Kansas two and make two states." It contains 82,000 square miles, Is 400 miles broad and 200 miles from north to south. The proposed division would make two states, each of which would be larger than Indiana, which contains 38,000 square mile®. To a great extent Western Kansas is filled up with miscellaneous crowd of aspiring young politicians who went west to grow up with the country and hold office. The eastern portion having nearly all the population ha* always controlled the state conventions, consequently there ha# never been a sufficient member of offices to go around. This makes the average Western Kan*au wortrv, and as a solution of the difficulty he proposes to divide the state and st ouro ail offices in his portion.

also, that in connection with the bureau there be established a permanent exhibit in which shall be shown sections of roads illustrating various methods of construction, including the best road material and machinery. The United Stales, with the exception of Maryland and, posalb'v, one or two others, are noinriiiiif for hflir bad roads. Here in Indiana the law lias been improved in tho inh't ten yfnrtt but bad roads are still the rule. For sothe time a few people in the east have beeu agitating the question of better roadn, and citizens genererally should be aroused to the importance of improving the highways. If all will work together something practical can be done to secure better roads. The plan outlined in the petition would accomplish much in the way of practical results. It is a subject which should be particularly interesting to thepeopleof this locality, and every citizen should give it his attention.
